AMC Entertainment and Rave Reviews Cinemas entered into a
definitive agreement for AMC’s acquisition of four Rave
theatres.
The four venues have 61 all-digital screens, 46 percent of which
are 3D-capable. The theatres are in three markets new to the AMC
portfolio: Montgomery, Ala., Destin, Fla., and Baton Rouge, La.
(two theatres). Each theatre has obtained the number-one position
in all three markets and the average age is nine years, with
numerous upgrades having occurred at each location since
construction.
"We are pleased to add these four theatres to our quality fleet of
locations. This is a natural progression of business that we
anticipated following our own acquisition by the Wanda Group," said
Gerry Lopez, AMC CEO and president. "With this strategic
acquisition, we are adding new markets to our footprint and serving
a new audience in the South and Southeast."
Completion of the acquisition is subject to customary closing
conditions.
